The new parents - whose first child, India, was born in June - posted a cute family snap to their Instagram accounts showing their three sets of feet poking out the end of a bed.

First day back at school

Even celebs get all mushy when they see their little'uns going off to school.

Binky captioned the black and white shot: ✨ Three in a bed ... ✨

While JP wrote: 'I guess we know who's in charge in this family!'

But while the couple clearly thought it was a cute and innocent picture, some of their social media followers clearly thought otherwise...

While the comments on both Instagram feeds were initially very positive, a comment on Binky's page quickly led to a furious debate around the pros and cons of co-sleeping.

The debate was sparked by one of Binky's Australian fans, who wrote: "Make sure your 100% happy to co sleep for a VERY long time before you make that decision it’s not easy to just change your mind one day and Pop them back in their room just some friendly advice if you are 100% go for it very cute :) @binkyfelstead"

But while Binky quickly replied to her fan, clarifying that India sleeps in her own room and was just in their bed for the staged photo, that was far from the end of things.

Other fans quickly jumped in, defending both Binky and the practice of co-sleeping.

One wrote: "not all babies struggle with the transition actually. 🙄 "

While another replied: "My 28 month son still co sleeps with us and I wouldn’t have it any other way! 😍 It won’t be long before he’s at school and won’t want so many cuddles. Love these early days the are precious 💛💛💛💛 "

Meanwhile, on JP's page, the comments were even more serious, with a number of followers actually suggesting that baby India's life could have been in danger.

One wrote: "The kid must be suffocating", while another added, "Poor baby! She needs to breath! 😱 "

Once again, fans were quick to come to the couple's defence, with one person replying: "Obviously it’s a staged photo. Baby wouldn’t be suffocating at all!"

Despite the drama, the overwhelming number of comments were positive though.

We think one of JP's followers put it best, writing: "Awwww love you guys and your lovely little family 👨‍👩‍👧 "
